Orphaned as a filly, a young pegasus named Kaviyayu is raised by an adoptive Earth pony family in a secluded, peaceful village. When a strange unicorn drops by the village, Kaviyayu and the other foals are captivated by her tales of the world, as well as her various spells and illusions for their amusement. But there's something about the way she doesn't speak of her own family... how she never removes her traveller's cloak... how she seems to take a very strong interest in Kaviyayu...

Who is this mysterious mare, what does she seek, and just what is so special about that pendant she wears?

This is the tale of how a seemingly ordinary filly rose to become both a princess and a beacon of love to ponies all over Equestria. Based on the back-story of Princess Cadance, as given by G. M. Berrow's pony novella, Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell. Also loosely inspired by symphonic metal band Nightwish's sixth studio album, Dark Passion Play.

With her help, Twilight ends up with more than she bargained for when an accident occurs during her studies, touching off an adventure spanning across multiple realities.

Cadance, Discord, and Fluttershy walk into a blizzard, but it's no laughing matter: there's something out there, buried beneath centuries of ice. But it's going to take teamwork to find it, and it's neither the Princess of Love nor the Lord of Chaos that are holding all the cards.

What's more, somepony predicted everything that is about to happen, and it turns out that history has an unexpected cadence.

Celestia pays Twilight and her friends a visit.

It has been a very long time since she saw them last.

This story is a sequel to A Little Push

Everypony must be so jealous of him. His parents are both retired members of the illustrious Wonderbolts. His mother was the last bearer of the Element of Loyalty, the only pony in hundreds of years to perform a Sonic Rainboom, and a key party in saving Equestria at least a dozen times.

But there are two sides to fame. As Prism Bolt strives to become his own pony, he'll find that stepping out from the shadow of his mother is easier said than done.

Once again, all credit for OCs goes to the supremely talented Kilala97

After a year-long journey to grow up and become a badass adult dragon, Spike returns as a kinda-there-but-not-quite-yet-badass. Everypony will fall in love with him, he'll have sex for unrealistic measures of time at once, and had at least a hundred partners by the time he returns.

Except not really, because that's stupid and highly unrealistic. At least he's sorta badass...

Edited by Prak. Thank you!
